I've read a million threads on this topic and I'm basically down to one question. My wipers just stopped working out of the blue BUT my wiper fluid still works. So, does it stand to reason that since the wiper fluid can still be released via the switch that the switch isn't bad and it's probably the motor???? I figured if it was the switch or a fuse that a) the wiper fluid wouldn't work and b) I'd have another fuse-related issue. Best I can tell, my only electrical issue is the wipers.

Thoughts?

dont they (wiper motor and windshield washer pump) use different fuses? if not then its the motor, if they do use 2 different fuses check the fuse first, but then again its most likely the motor.

its the motor.
ask me how I know...
a new motor wont be cheap unless you get a used one, they run about 400$
once you get another motor, if you need any help on the install or remove, just ask / pm me Its kinda tricky.

You can crack the windshield on the later models if you are not careful. Slightly different wiper arm assembly.

I had the later model, its not hard, although it was the first repair I did (myslelf) on the car.
if any q's or doubts, just ask
